Jackie Wilburn is With Jesus

  • 18 November 2011

I awoke this morning to find that Jackie Wilburn of the Wilburns went to Heaven early this morning. My first reaction was disbelief but the reality slowly sunk in that yet another man of God has been called Home.

Singing News Magazine posted about Jackie’s last day as told by his son Jonathan and, as I read the account, I thought, “What a way to go!” For those of us here, the loss of a loved one leaves a huge void. However, for the one in Heaven, there is no more pain, no more sadness or sorrow. They’re rejoicing on the streets of gold awaiting our arrival.

Please keep Elaine Wilburn and the rest of the family in your prayers. I know this will be a bittersweet time for them as they praise God for the time they spent with Jackie and the fact they will see Him again; yet, I know they will miss him terribly.

When praying about a song to post, I was hoping to find Jonathan Wilburn singing, “Don’t It Make You Want To Go.” However, the following seemed appropriate too. Jonathan mentioned that his dad loved to preach. You can tell from this video. Let it encourage you.
